Afghanistan. 04:12.000 --> 04:15.930 We're coming out of warrior tenure war Sever your war iraq. 04:16.530 --> 04:18.770 A twelve year war in. Afghanistan. 04:19.840 --> 04:22.880 And we're now trying to shape ourselves for the. Future. 04:26.500 --> 04:29.430 But whenever you have to transition there some difficulty and 04:29.430 --> 04:33.380 those transitions. Well those difficulties we have now as our budget. 04:35.440 --> 04:39.520 And mine our budget business aligned with what our requirements are. 04:40.700 --> 04:43.550 And will working this hard as we can with congress to get these 04:43.550 --> 04:44.530 better. Aligned. 04:46.500 --> 04:50.860 As you narow this year. I think you know we have some significant 04:50.860 --> 04:52.650 shortfalls in our budget. 04:53.430 --> 04:56.850 And was kind of of the new triangle of impacts that occur. 04:58.500 --> 05:02.040 We're car listen approval barges. So we had a continuing resolution. 05:02.710 --> 05:07.500 We had a shortfall and our money that was we needed for Afghanistan. 05:08.530 --> 05:09.910 There we have see quest ration. 05:11.350 --> 05:13.150 What that meant to the army. 05:13.770 --> 05:18.520 About been march is real about it twenty billion dollar shortfall. 05:19.350 --> 05:20.180 That's a lot of. Money. 05:23.280 --> 05:26.080 This with about six billion dollars of that. 05:26.870 --> 05:29.760 Which left this with about a twelve billion dollar shortfall. 05:30.590 --> 05:34.480 So we ended tamasin drastic actions to meet that shore folks. 05:34.480 --> 05:37.340 I was not good enough on our mission award Afghanistan. 05:38.540 --> 05:41.500 Our shoulders you were sailors airmen arranges. 05:42.130 --> 05:45.070 Course garzon and then are harm's way. They are sheer first part 05:45.340 --> 05:47.090 to make sure they have everything they need. 05:47.890 --> 05:51.950 To prosecute operations in Afghanistan swindon do a few thanks. 05:53.100 --> 05:56.290 When listen if they could tell training here in United States. 05:57.120 --> 06:00.790 Winik they all are some of our reserve of our quiver. 06:01.760 --> 06:06.700 Widow now so for a lower civilian personnel for eleven days switches. Significant. 06:09.030 --> 06:12.440 So these are actions that we did not want to take port necessary. 06:12.440 --> 06:14.390 The fact as I stand here today. 06:15.150 --> 06:17.850 We still on a three point one billion dollar shortfall that I'm 06:17.850 --> 06:20.650 tirana fine money for to pay for the rest the year. 06:22.150 --> 06:24.690 We think we've come on up with a show mission. 06:25.370 --> 06:27.370 Of Bollore steelworker away through it. 06:29.500 --> 06:35.310 So. That's why problem not years but I watch you don't know that 06:35.310 --> 06:37.620 that that's why we've had a could tail some training. 06:39.120 --> 06:43.310 As we go into fourteen. We're just starts october. First fiscal 06:43.310 --> 06:45.380 year fourteen starts october first. 06:46.110 --> 06:48.740 We're still gonna have some budget issues that we have to work. For. 06:51.630 --> 06:52.480 Will will do that. 06:53.500 --> 06:56.380 War misheard a they you know what you need. 06:57.700 --> 07:01.620 And on the last commanders and first sergeant. So the trainer 07:01.620 --> 07:04.560 come a and to do the best with the money we give you as we continue 07:04.560 --> 07:05.130 will for. 07:06.230 --> 07:09.650 So was part these better reductions you probably know yesterday. 07:10.210 --> 07:13.870 We made announcement that you know we it we've been talking about 07:13.870 --> 07:17.410 now for about a year there we have to reduce the size of the 07:17.410 --> 07:20.200 active component army from five hundred and seventy the former 07:20.200 --> 07:20.960 ninety thousand. 07:22.220 --> 07:24.700 In yesterday before hopped other playing to come out here. 07:25.330 --> 07:28.790 I late I'd in a press conference. I I announce the structure 07:28.790 --> 07:32.500 changes that we're gonna have an army that will get us down of 07:32.500 --> 07:33.660 ordered ninety thousand. 07:35.030 --> 07:38.940 Which focuses around the elimination twelve Brigade combat team peace. 07:40.430 --> 07:41.290 Around the army. 07:42.340 --> 07:45.720 It also talked about how are reorganizing our infantry and armor 07:45.720 --> 07:50.180 Brigade combat teams back into three battalion Brigade which 07:50.650 --> 07:53.100 to the analysis and study that we've done. 07:53.870 --> 07:55.760 Is what we need to move to the future. 07:57.220 --> 08:00.610 And all soho some improvements and engineers and fires in some 08:00.610 --> 08:02.090 other things in each. Creates. 08:04.100 --> 08:07.960 So all the next to the three years we will start this transition. 08:09.200 --> 08:11.170 Well it's all star right away. 08:12.030 --> 08:15.450 Some will be next year some will be the year after and will continue 08:15.450 --> 08:18.080 to refine that based are a budget. Situation. 08:20.110 --> 08:22.770 So we've already taken to Brigade's that in germany. 08:23.380 --> 08:27.750 That's finish this year. We took out of corps headquarters in germany. 08:28.610 --> 08:32.220 And then we announced ten other Brigade's there will comdr United 08:32.220 --> 08:34.820 States one being here for will was for two ship right for. 08:37.030 --> 08:40.280 We also now so we're taken Brigade's out of orford the 08:41.660 --> 08:46.620 For brad for players for Riley Fort Carson Fort Knox Fort. Drum. 08:49.610 --> 08:50.490 Fort campbell. 08:51.630 --> 08:54.600 All major installations. What we will take a Brigade and will 08:54.600 --> 08:55.830 try to reinvest. 08:56.590 --> 08:59.670 Those reductions in the remaining Brigade's as we have a third 08:59.670 --> 09:00.490 maneuver. Without. 09:02.730 --> 09:04.840 So that's what's kinda going on today. 09:06.550 --> 09:10.870 What we have to do is continue to maintain the highest readiness 09:10.870 --> 09:12.150 levels that weekend. 09:12.660 --> 09:14.150 With the money. We're gammon because. 09:14.680 --> 09:17.750 You all read the papers as great uncertainty out there in the world. 09:19.440 --> 09:22.300 And I don't know all we might call on to do our next mission. 09:23.260 --> 09:24.560 Wherever that might be. 09:26.320 --> 09:28.700 We know there's a nifty unrest in the middle east. 09:30.530 --> 09:31.770 Center around. Syria. 09:34.680 --> 09:37.530 And those of other of things going on in the middle east. 09:38.820 --> 09:41.540 But that we have to be careful off we have. 09:42.280 --> 09:45.780 That it in here they'll we're focus on the pacific region. 09:46.730 --> 09:51.600 Will we have almost all of joint base was record focused on the pacific. 09:52.280 --> 09:55.970 As that's our park party now and our new strategy that we've. Developed. 09:57.900 --> 10:01.740 Well we have concerns about our new leader a north korea in the 10:01.780 --> 10:02.930 and that what he's been doing. 10:04.700 --> 10:08.300 We have to make sure we're shaping our force to prevent conflicts 10:08.730 --> 10:09.940 in the pacific region. 10:11.150 --> 10:13.900 And the units here from the first corps headquarters. 10:14.620 --> 10:18.830 Are down to the brigades both combat comments for comments or 10:18.830 --> 10:21.490 sporran medical all the other brigades will play a role in their. 10:22.660 --> 10:26.300 And we're defining a concept award calling region a line forces. 10:27.640 --> 10:30.970 Your wine with take our other units in the army what we line 10:30.970 --> 10:34.550 with center car where south car or after come. 10:35.170 --> 10:37.320 As I stand here today. We were Brigade. 10:37.910 --> 10:39.270 This operating in africa. 10:40.700 --> 10:43.770 Doing over ninety three different events this year. 10:44.300 --> 10:46.200 Inside of raf because we try to shape. 10:46.910 --> 10:47.880 The after partner. 10:48.500 --> 10:51.120 Because the see the threat of terrorism moving in africa. 10:52.190 --> 10:53.460 Trans national terrorism. 10:54.350 --> 10:55.960 Will continue to support. 10:56.720 --> 10:58.980 Well building capabilities in the middle east. 10:59.810 --> 11:02.810 And work their way that and with our primary effort will be continue 11:02.810 --> 11:06.440 to shape the pacific region. So there's lots of things for us 11:06.440 --> 11:08.610 to do as we off ordered to me S a pretty excited. 11:10.090 --> 11:12.780 That as we don't forty in on the opportunity depending on where 11:12.780 --> 11:15.840 you are going to Puerto many different places for shorter periods. Atop. 11:19.500 --> 11:21.020 And so this is the new army. 11:21.640 --> 11:24.810 And what we're talking about as a new army is something that is. 11:26.540 --> 11:30.450 Global a responsive in regional engaged. That's kind of our tagline 11:30.450 --> 11:31.420 where we mean by that. 11:33.090 --> 11:34.980 That means we have to build a respond. 11:35.540 --> 11:37.490 Anywhere in the world very quickly. 11:38.420 --> 11:41.840 That means we have to move to an expeditionary mindset as I call. 11:43.360 --> 11:45.610 And some people out there might think what we cut a hammer now 11:45.610 --> 11:47.760 we just got don't do a whole bunch of deployments. 11:48.830 --> 11:51.970 But reality where we would appoint a wracking Afghanistan where 11:51.970 --> 11:54.250 or in the point to very mature infrastructure. 11:55.280 --> 11:57.150 Then of them built up over many years. 11:58.500 --> 12:01.820 What I talk about expeditionary mindset. I mean the ability to 12:01.820 --> 12:04.960 what to the poor in small packages. 12:05.790 --> 12:07.840 To re my own very owes. 12:09.000 --> 12:10.490 And as very little. Infrastructure. 12:13.050 --> 12:15.750 Will we have to be able to communicate very quickly with real 12:15.750 --> 12:18.230 survive without lots of support. 12:19.260 --> 12:22.470 That's the army we warrior as rewind or racking Afghans who gonna 12:22.470 --> 12:23.900 rebuild that. Capability. 12:25.710 --> 12:28.290 So it's important that we understand that as we go for. 12:29.710 --> 12:33.770 Well center challenges and and then when I talk about in gauging 12:33.770 --> 12:36.990 than I talk about us being able to engage around the world. 12:38.220 --> 12:41.600 Because the army is of other nations order domino forces. 12:42.000 --> 12:46.420 We have all engage with them to prevent conflict to shape the area. 12:47.680 --> 12:51.450 And we can do that to exercises we do that to training for an forces. 12:52.440 --> 12:57.300 We knew that through other multilateral exercises that we would conduct. 12:58.320 --> 13:01.110 But the one thing we a can never forget as an army we must have 13:01.110 --> 13:02.690 the capability to the tour. 13:03.690 --> 13:08.130 And that means Uma sustain a high level readiness so we can deterred 13:08.130 --> 13:09.670 people from miss calculating. 13:10.180 --> 13:11.790 And making mistakes and the future. 13:13.820 --> 13:16.150 So that's where we're headed but the some other things that we're 13:16.150 --> 13:17.990 doing that we've just recently and outs. 13:19.070 --> 13:22.110 With this mission us a new meter development program about two 13:22.110 --> 13:22.720 weeks ago. 13:23.500 --> 13:26.700 We're every structure how we will develop non commissioned officers 13:26.700 --> 13:28.610 officers and a part of the army civilian. 13:30.220 --> 13:31.280 As we go. For. 13:33.620 --> 13:37.010 Well dod would we're group reinvesting in our schools. 13:37.700 --> 13:41.880 We're adjusting what we do in our schools will work again assignment policies. 13:42.350 --> 13:46.870 So we bowled capability with broader thought processes because 13:46.870 --> 13:49.300 the challenges we're gonna have a more. Complex. 13:51.630 --> 13:52.910 We got will operate. 13:53.440 --> 13:57.770 In complex of iras all our strength of our army is our. Leaders. 13:59.960 --> 14:03.070 We're the best leaders in the world of to sustain that advantage. 14:03.500 --> 14:04.810 So we have to invest. 14:05.350 --> 14:06.860 In our weeded of armor program. 14:07.440 --> 14:09.470 We've announced a campaign of. 14:10.030 --> 14:11.760 Of the army. Profession. 14:14.120 --> 14:17.360 Which is about understanding of responsibilities that we're gaming 14:17.360 --> 14:18.710 we put on this uniform. 14:19.330 --> 14:22.030 That we represent the United States of america with our moral 14:22.030 --> 14:23.080 ethical. Values. 14:27.650 --> 14:31.620 We would. First on this country as we go worldwide. 14:32.440 --> 14:36.110 I just tender we have right now what is sixty five thousand soldiers 14:36.110 --> 14:37.610 in different countries around the. World. 14:40.500 --> 14:42.250 Sure profession is. Important. 14:44.410 --> 14:47.370 Well profession the bedrock of our profession is. Trust. 14:50.000 --> 14:53.200 I we have to build a we have to sustain trust between ourselves 14:53.200 --> 14:54.010 our shoulders. 14:54.630 --> 14:57.310 We have to sustain trust train shoulders and leaders. 14:57.830 --> 15:00.550 We have to stay intra screen. Shoulders leaders off railways 15:00.550 --> 15:01.220 and the army. 15:01.810 --> 15:04.610 We have the same trust for in the army in American people. 15:06.500 --> 15:09.150 Well right now we have an insider threat. That's challenging 15:09.150 --> 15:09.970 that. Trust. 15:12.880 --> 15:15.560 And that's the threat essential or ras research force.

But what 30:03.080 --> 30:04.780 we want to do is balance. 30:05.600 --> 30:10.440 Our drawdown with our will we see is our our operational needs 30:10.900 --> 30:14.860 and we're not going to use animosity this something of last resort. 30:14.860 --> 30:16.290 So let's say for instance. 30:17.300 --> 30:20.000 We turner we get new to reduce the size of the army. 30:21.330 --> 30:24.340 Faster than what we're doing now so that drawdown needs to be 30:24.340 --> 30:27.820 complete by part twenty seventeen four or ninety thousand. 30:28.330 --> 30:32.180 If for some reason we've got to reduce the size of force quarter. 30:32.910 --> 30:37.250 Then we have an a lover that we can use which is granting voluntary 30:37.250 --> 30:41.000 early retirement to release operations and and will use that 30:41.000 --> 30:45.160 as necessary but we don't want to do that we've said absorbed 30:45.160 --> 30:49.150 us are so we're may money Farber that so we're or do that as 30:49.150 --> 30:50.840 a last resort will retire why. 30:52.190 --> 30:54.850 In fact the last on this happens. When I was with tying commander. 30:54.850 --> 30:55.330 Right here. 30:56.630 --> 30:59.790 Of when we are downsizing and that that on the act of always 30:59.790 --> 31:00.880 like nine hundred thousand. 31:01.780 --> 31:04.690 We're downsizing like five hundred and fifty are someone that. 31:05.790 --> 31:08.400 The netball see where anybody one of the leave could leave. 31:10.080 --> 31:12.720 In a trained a lot of Taliban of the army. Hungry. 31:14.390 --> 31:16.640 I want to keep the best our in the army. 31:18.030 --> 31:21.580 So where do this by will we want people really where do a by 31:21.580 --> 31:25.250 those sure we on keep the best. I'll we're gonna make judgments 31:25.250 --> 31:27.890 on those who are the best tell with ask them to we. 31:28.790 --> 31:30.510 Will be packages for more we do that. 31:31.310 --> 31:34.680 So that means all bill on a voluntary people raising their hands. 31:34.710 --> 31:37.910 That's a I want to go and we go will probably not to do that 31:37.910 --> 31:40.750 you want to do a based on talent performance because we want 31:40.750 --> 31:42.410 to be have the best people. 31:44.040 --> 31:45.600 Ped that's important to me. 31:46.250 --> 31:49.240 Because or in did this in the nineties it took us a lot of recover 31:49.240 --> 31:51.590 because we did not do it that way and on that we can do that 31:51.590 --> 31:54.500 again because there's too much uncertainty in the world. 31:55.440 --> 31:58.560 I got to make sure we maintain the best people in the army and 31:58.560 --> 32:00.550 so as a star major said. 32:01.400 --> 32:03.170 You know that would be a last resort. 32:03.730 --> 32:04.220 To do that. 32:04.750 --> 32:08.100 But now if your retirement eligible. That's a different issue. 32:09.330 --> 32:12.750 A obviously into that in a timely what come from of those part 32:12.750 --> 32:15.870 of retiring old will but what I don't think we're gonna have 32:15.870 --> 32:18.700 to dial think we'll do that I think will do everything through. 32:19.640 --> 32:22.320 You know for the last year for the first time we're not everybody 32:22.320 --> 32:24.350 wanted to re enlist was allowed to re list. 32:25.090 --> 32:26.570 As a first time that's happened. 32:27.120 --> 32:27.980 That that I know. 32:29.570 --> 32:32.450 So the might happen again next this year and next year. 32:33.000 --> 32:36.520 But everybody wants realist might not been able to the nairobi choices. 32:36.560 --> 32:39.260 You know that are made based on performance. 32:39.900 --> 32:42.910 By was a very small number last year and upon the very small 32:42.910 --> 32:43.610 number nectar. 32:44.850 --> 32:45.220 You are. 32:46.080 --> 32:46.880 Number to the 32:48.170 --> 32:51.990 Sir Simon major as versus collective.

Programs. 33:08.770 --> 33:11.590 And a big that there's going to be a challenge if you go technical 33:11.590 --> 33:14.730 certification as required finger a more us and you have a bunch 33:14.730 --> 33:15.210 of those. 33:15.880 --> 33:20.000 Now for soldiers looking for technical certification outside 33:20.000 --> 33:20.990 of their a morris'. 33:21.530 --> 33:24.570 A that they are looking for the army to pay for we're going to 33:24.570 --> 33:27.030 have to make some considerations about or they're not we can 33:27.030 --> 33:27.880 sustain that. 33:28.760 --> 33:32.320 But if it's the from trade auc energy one perspective it's of 33:32.400 --> 33:34.630 it it's a requirement of your emory us. 33:35.550 --> 33:37.920 That we are going to continue to fund those records. 33:38.750 --> 33:42.540 For for willie has the transition schools and education continue 33:42.540 --> 33:43.590 to be a key. 33:44.110 --> 33:46.000 A key part of lost of our polluters. 33:47.300 --> 33:49.610 And as I mesh or leader the volunteers a part of. 33:50.810 --> 33:54.200 And so we will continue to part ties.

For. 44:17.350 --> 44:22.410 Sir sir major some of them rave for two stryker Brigade and people teen. 44:23.330 --> 44:24.480 My question is. 44:25.100 --> 44:26.660 With us smaller army. 44:27.830 --> 44:29.830 Are promotion is probably gonna slowdown. 44:30.690 --> 44:33.720 And are we going to be able to stay in longer. 44:34.860 --> 44:35.810 With our cp. 44:37.500 --> 44:42.390 And in the for the buck. So actually we believe for. Proportionally 44:42.570 --> 44:45.360 promotions will not slow down all that much. 44:46.000 --> 44:49.730 Now did time between promotions as an army we've been looking 44:49.730 --> 44:52.670 at this for a couple years and we all are saying. 44:53.430 --> 44:57.190 That were born in creates some space between your current rank 44:57.450 --> 44:59.160 and we're eligible for the next what. 44:59.730 --> 45:02.610 And a reason we're doing that is so we can provide you with some 45:02.610 --> 45:06.630 more opportunities to do something beyond being for a sense in 45:06.630 --> 45:07.920 your case nor turquoise. 45:08.660 --> 45:12.900 We want to become a sergeant nina staff start to be great and 45:12.900 --> 45:16.140 whatever it is it your a Morris's and then something else like 45:16.140 --> 45:17.590 recruiter for all start. 45:18.140 --> 45:20.800 Give you a broader perspective as we continue. Gorani. 45:23.030 --> 45:25.620 I think that's a great program for us. 45:26.160 --> 45:31.240 We're not going to extend the rc peas a to allow people serve 45:31.240 --> 45:34.840 longer for expecting you to work it the time between your promotions 45:34.840 --> 45:38.410 as an opportunity to set yourself apart from your peers and then 45:38.410 --> 45:41.400 when you are eligible for the person that can be competitive 45:41.400 --> 45:41.980 and it's a lot. 45:42.550 --> 45:44.280 So you know the question last. 45:44.810 --> 45:48.510 Is that we're suggests each other if you increase our cp each unit. 45:48.510 --> 45:49.840 Decrease promotion right. 45:51.140 --> 45:53.790 Because in all I have so many of each right. 45:55.350 --> 45:58.150 So the key people are more that means you for most people. 45:58.720 --> 45:59.960 And yet to promote and shore. 46:00.530 --> 46:03.820 So what we're trying to do is keep the balance between the two. 46:04.830 --> 46:08.350 Personally I would tell you my opinion is over the last five 46:08.350 --> 46:10.340 restrictive we promoter people too. Fast. 46:12.410 --> 46:15.040 They were ready for the bayonets officers and our commission 46:15.040 --> 46:15.710 off to both. 46:17.000 --> 46:18.300 You for more than two quickly. 46:19.180 --> 46:22.640 And what they did game was experience that bush force again the 46:22.640 --> 46:23.670 rank the rat. 46:24.590 --> 46:26.760 But to what I'm trying to do is gonna back to the north to I 46:26.760 --> 46:28.400 think you get the right experience so. 46:28.960 --> 46:31.910 When you move from starburst ashore. You've had a time to war 46:31.910 --> 46:34.560 and to be a sergeant appears to be assessed or. 46:35.270 --> 46:37.560 We promote would tell us a captain's too fast. 46:39.210 --> 46:42.660 We're Michel that down jostle little bit. So they they have enough 46:42.660 --> 46:45.850 jobs as lieutenant chilly actually have the chance to learn. 46:46.100 --> 46:48.670 So when they're captains a ready to take on the responsibilities 46:48.670 --> 46:49.170 a cap. 46:50.760 --> 46:51.670 That's important. 46:52.960 --> 46:53.310 You know. 46:55.000 --> 46:59.810 And a and so I think promotions of the final I video obviously 46:59.810 --> 47:01.380 is you know it because I am less to. 47:02.300 --> 47:05.210 Been over straight come less is more difficult for number strain 47:05.210 --> 47:06.760 come less. It is mode will flash. 47:07.890 --> 47:10.340 But in the in the in the aren't nco corps. 47:11.500 --> 47:14.920 So it's a combination was factual what I'm tell you is I think 47:14.920 --> 47:17.890 promotions a to be fine and I could be delayed significantly. 47:18.780 --> 47:22.740 You'll be able to get promoted. Why do the time to develop properly. 47:23.030 --> 47:26.460 So you can perform in those positions that we give you with a 47:26.460 --> 47:29.150 right amount of experience and the by the way the right education. 47:29.700 --> 47:32.620 We from our of people so fast a warning or the schools asbos 47:32.620 --> 47:32.950 to go. 47:34.120 --> 47:35.560 As or a change out of all. 47:36.100 --> 47:38.730 Of thank patriot question is a turning. 47:39.550 --> 47:44.890 The But we're here who federal and before with. The 47:47.630 --> 47:48.320 Bell Fort to. 47:48.960 --> 47:53.210 Go. That there of has what they are not. 47:55.030 --> 47:57.530 I'm that you wanna make a with. 47:58.090 --> 48:00.480 A good decision. You know plan of action for what we're going 48:00.480 --> 48:04.460 to do in syria. But you think is taking too long to decide up. 48:05.420 --> 48:06.580 Are our plans are. 48:07.260 --> 48:10.190 That so we're first on sherer I would tell you. 48:10.700 --> 48:14.640 Share is incredibly complex situation. 48:15.810 --> 48:17.270 Incredibly complex. 48:18.280 --> 48:22.000 And frankly it's following bigger than sure your right now forces 48:22.000 --> 48:25.530 that all the and was taken sides and So I think we have to be 48:25.530 --> 48:28.160 very careful will for we make a decision on what we're going 48:28.160 --> 48:31.380 to do and I think that's what would or being cautious. I think 48:31.380 --> 48:32.330 that's appropriate. 48:33.500 --> 48:33.880 I am. 48:35.000 --> 48:37.670 Because what we don't want to do is of all so we say we're put 48:37.670 --> 48:41.560 in you know twenty thousand U.S. soldiers and we become a lightning rod. 48:42.590 --> 48:43.470 From Bosu fix. 48:44.280 --> 48:46.440 You know if we're gonna do something want to make sure to make 48:46.440 --> 48:50.440 a difference very quickly in this air what the and States's owing 48:50.440 --> 48:51.050 about and so. 48:51.770 --> 48:55.010 We have to decide that will we wrote like to do is the is is 48:55.010 --> 48:56.230 the military's in. 48:56.790 --> 48:59.000 In that area to help solve the problem. 48:59.870 --> 49:03.450 And knowing that help assist them in solving approach of those 49:03.450 --> 49:06.130 attire things will we're Minnesota very difficult. That's why 49:06.130 --> 49:09.160 it's taking far my nose wears lots of opinions on this. 49:09.800 --> 49:11.760 But I think we have to go maverick of. 49:12.500 --> 49:16.730 General of course and yes regarding on service members transition 49:16.730 --> 49:21.340 to be a and the backlog do you feel the the terms for disability 49:21.340 --> 49:22.980 army possibly too lenient. 49:23.680 --> 49:27.090 Know people claim for for ailments that maybe are. 49:27.680 --> 49:28.070 You know. 49:28.740 --> 49:32.270 Really well too bad for the ba probably have actually. 49:33.270 --> 49:34.490 Is we have a system. 49:35.110 --> 49:36.590 So the army has a system. 49:37.430 --> 49:39.500 That we we determine disability. 49:40.370 --> 49:42.160 Then of EA has a separate system. 49:43.420 --> 49:46.460 She hit the army system of any other movement of the a system. 49:47.650 --> 49:49.690 We will like to see is let's get one system. 49:50.250 --> 49:52.510 That everybody goes through that's the same. 49:53.600 --> 49:54.930 We Emery ummah get their ia. 49:55.530 --> 49:57.950 The best of that that would be the ultimate solution. 49:59.070 --> 50:00.100 As we go through this. 50:01.720 --> 50:05.970 Than affairs treated as considers element of trust. So not a 50:05.970 --> 50:08.910 lush your doctor or a portion of their capacity. 50:09.620 --> 50:12.290 We're now next fortune how to diagnose where they're not a person 50:12.290 --> 50:15.410 has a some type of the their behavior all physical injury. 50:16.000 --> 50:19.140 Metro so that they're going to do what that what they know by 50:19.140 --> 50:21.320 their training just like you is what.
